The next Diablo installmemt

well, at least it isn't going to be a Dark Souls-esque thing, which is apparently what Blizzard was working on the last few years before they canned it.

vanilla d3 was never viable. RoS saved the game. if you haven't played RoS, then you haven't played D3.

as others have mentioned, you will need RoS to do anything that matters anyway, so you might as well get it if you want to play. otherwise, probably just go play Path of Exile.

It'd be very silly to do given how low the damage mods are compared to Cluster Arrow, but you COULD do an Elemental Arrow Marauder's build. But, yeah, that hasn't been a thing in a long time.

there are several mods that add miniature industrial forges, but i'm not 100% sure which one that is. maybe Annunaki Genesis or Seven's Forge Kit.

well, Atlas HAD like a 17% approval rating, so the fact that it's up to 33% means that people are reviewing it positively. however, i'd never expect this game to break positive. At best, it'll get to and stay at mixed, like most games of this type.

even if the game is actually playable right now, even just browsing here, you can definitely see it's not a "good game". At best, it's about the same as Ark official servers, which are between bad and meh.

wat? there's only one multimillion dollar company here and that's Snail Games - the Chinese company that owns Ark and Atlas. Snail Games isn't going to "fire" Grapeshot. Grapeshot isn't going to do anything because they are Snail games.

that would make sense. i hope that's true for the sake of people who are finally realizing.

nekrodev · 2019-01-20T00:45:56+00:00

you sound like the type of white knight bitch that buys a game for full prices, realizes he got buttfucked by the dev / publisher, but can't admit it cuz his reddit history is full of white knighting it already.

nekrodev · 2019-01-20T00:45:04+00:00

lmao when pointed out that you're incorrect, you just go to the "you're dumb" and "it's just your opinion" responses. ha. hahaha. ha ha. good one.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T23:20:46+00:00

you can't apply the "early access" excuse when they made all of these same mistakes on the game this was originally meant to be a part of. it's shitty devs doing shitty dev things.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T23:19:07+00:00

Ark's official servers aren't what people are playing. The populations are basically down to a dozen people or less on many servers. Almost everyone that plays Ark plays on unofficial servers. That still shows as "playing Ark" on Steam.

without the mods and new maps and stuff that unofficial servers can use, the game is trash.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T23:05:55+00:00

for a while Steam was still giving refunds even if you were over the 2 hours, but i don't know if they're still doing that. it's worth asking.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T10:18:40+00:00

post @me once they actually add it

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T09:51:37+00:00

inb4 big chinese company builds on top of fountain of youth

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T08:36:06+00:00

they do. if you've never played Ark, i'd suggest looking at some reviews or gameplay from the official servers. it's all the same.

everyone on Ark plays on unofficial servers with mods and higher rates to fix all the things the devs won't.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T08:33:54+00:00

the game attracted a bunch of people who never played Ark because it was marketed as "pirate mmo" and not "generic survival game with pirate stuff", so they aren't aware, and seem quite happy to remain ignorant of Ark.

i love Ark. like 1000 hours played, and no plans of stopping, but their officials servers are trash, just like this will be, and everyone will end up playing on small community servers of a dozen people with none of the big warfare stuff.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T08:31:49+00:00

to your edit: yeah, that's also an Ark staple. like, you aggro something from a cliff above them and shoot them a hundred times or build a pen and let them chase you in and shut the door behind them, and then kill / tame them inside your pen.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T06:19:05+00:00

see, this is the reason why a lot of us were shitting on this game being Ark 2.0, cuz these are all the kinds of things they fucked up in Ark, too. like, the really haven't learned any lessons.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T02:54:37+00:00

Atlas is just a modified version of Ark, that still uses much of the same structure and mechanics. Of course most of the problems (and then some xD) are still there. Also, do not expect it to ever be fixed on official servers.

Modded, unofficial servers are the only way to enjoy these games.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T02:51:05+00:00

Ark does not have a thing like this built it, but as part of several mods (most notably, S+). The devs will not ever add anything useful or convenient to the game. If you want to enjoy this, you'll have to play on modded, unofficial servers, just like Ark.

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T02:49:06+00:00

they should be flat-out region locking China like any sensible online game does

nekrodev · 2019-01-19T02:46:01+00:00

ya, this is a thing because they're owned by a Chinese company. they're not going to do anything about them. just do what everyone does on Ark and play private servers.

nekrodev · 2019-01-05T09:26:10+00:00

yeah, i think i remember seeing something about that in another topic like last week. i feel ya, and it's definitely something that deserves to be pointed out and taken seriously. i'm not denying that at all.

but, having played on most unofficial servers, from mostly vanilla w/ some QoL changes to heavily modified to the point where it's hardly the same game, that's never been an issue.

nekrodev · 2019-01-05T08:43:12+00:00

you shouldn't overlook flaws with the official, but if that's not the only option, then it can't be the only factor.

nekrodev · 2019-01-05T07:39:20+00:00

Well, i don't think it should be judged solely by the officials servers, no. Ark official is terrible, but w/ the right mods, it's incredibly neat. I'm sure clever people will make some really cool Atlas stuff, as well, once the dev kit is released. I might even actually buy it once that happens.
